Abstract: A modulated signal carrying speech or other digitally coded information is demodulated and a likelihood signal 1(t) is produced in a Viterbi decoder for each demodulated symbol, indicating its reliability. This is used to update probabilities (Pg(t), Pb(t) of the transmission channel being in a relatively error-free or error-prone state, using a Viterbi algorithm, in dependence on stored parameters representing estimates of the probability transitions between the states. A decision signal E(t) is generated dependent on the relative magnitudes of the probabilities Pg(t), Pb(t). The result may be used to inhibit the use of the affected bits, e.g. by supplying a speech decoder with parameters from an earlier speech frame.

Abstract: A block type rolling mill has work roll pairs (12) arranged along a rolling line (X) to roll a single strand product in a twist-free manner. The work roll pairs are driven by a common mill drive (34) via a drive train which includes two parallel line shafts (28a, 28b) with at least two successive work roll pairs being alternatively coupled to one or the other of the line shafts. This is achieved by providing a common intermediate drive means, including a shaft (44), which links two successive roll pairs and the line shafts. The line shafts are coupled to the intermediate drive means via clutches (56a, 56b) in such a way that one of the line shafts can be selected to drive the roll pairs. Different gear ratios can be selected in the connection between the respective line shaft and the intermediate drive means so that the rolling speed of the roll pairs can be changed for rolling different diameter products.

Abstract: To stabilise the vertical position of adjacent concrete slabs, for example of airfield runways, mutually spaced, cylindrical, vertical holes are made centrically with respect to the joint. Annular undercuts (35) are subsequently produced in these holes (28) by means of an undercutting device. These undercut holes are provided with a separating means. Subsequently, a hardenable filling compound is poured in. After hardening, position stabilisation of adjacent components in the vertical direction results, while a horizontal expansion movement in the region of the joints can take place. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention makes use of a single detector to monitor several process functions, e.g. reaction efficiency, reagent flow rates, the presence of empty reagent reservoirs, the absence of a chemical reactor column in the system, blockage of flow system, etc., at a single location in the flow system. In accordance with the detection scheme of the present invention, only one detector is required to accomplish the same, if not more, functions as many detectors in the prior art instruments. In the described embodiment, an optical detector is positioned downstream of a chemical reaction chamber. This detector monitors the effluent from the reaction chamber to monitor the reaction efficiency. It also monitors the system functions upstream of the reaction chamber. System flow rate is monitored by detecting the presence of a gas bubble which has been introduced into the system at a known instance. Depletion of reagents in the reservoirs can be detected by monitoring the absence of the reagents at the detector at times when the reagents are expected. The flow system may be periodically diagnosed to check for flow blockage or missing flow component, by monitoring the flow past the detector which corresponds to a predetermined succession of reagents introduced into the system. Any deviation from a predictable succession of changes in the flow monitored by the detector indicates possible blockage of the flow delivery system or missing flow components.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pickup arrangement which is installed in roadway surfaces and is used for the detection of vehicle/aircraft wheel loads and/or their thrust components on the roadway surfaces during driving movement. The construction of the flanged-tube pickup 1 with piezoelectric crystal plates permits a modular construction in that piezo plates which are sensitive only to pressure P or to thrust S or combinations of the two are installed, since all the piezo plates have exactly the same dimensions. The force introduction flange 3 permits a concentration of the force lines onto the measuring arrangement 5 with a considerable mechanical amplification effect. The packaging of the flanged-tube pickup 1 to make a built-in pickup 17 ensures proper installation and positioning in the installation groove 11. In this arrangement, the two rolling force insulating masses 8 and the tube part insulating foam are important. The application of the invention is in traffic management for weight recording. As a result of the expansion of the thrust measurement, new applications for vehicle test sections and landing strips can be realised, which demonstrate new aspects of vehicle dynamics and safety. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Compaction of a soil surface is achieved by means of a machine (10) which has a movable, wheeled carriage (20) and an impact roller coupled resiliently to the carriage so as to move together with the carriage. The impact roller has one or more out-of-round compactor masses (12) designed to apply periodic impact blows to the soil surface (36). A soil working implement, in the form of an upright scraper blade (44) is carried by the carriage in a position trailing the impact roller. The function of the blade is to scrape soil into the localised indentations (40) that are formed in the soil surface by the periodic impact blows applied by the compactor mass or masses. This smoothes out the soil surface for subsequent passes and reduces the shock loading on the tractive vehicle which pulls the carriage.
